Happy Birthday, Oscar!

Oscar had his third birthday on the 18th. He celebrated with a good morning birthday muffin and cupcakes for his preschool classmates. Our little guy is growing up fast. As we've mentioned in previous posts, Oscar has joined academia, and he is proving to be a wonderful, caring big brother to Rory. His current obsession is diggers, though he also has a profound appreciation for steamrollers, cement mixers, bulldozers, cherry pickers, cranes, flatbed trucks, dump trucks, trains, school buses, garbage trucks, airplanes, purple airplanes, helicopters, big white vans, bicycles and motorcycles.

Happy, happy birthday, Oscar. We love you.

What a Good Kid

I walked in on this the other day:

Oscar said he was "helping Rory to grow her teeth." She seemed appreciative. :)

First Day of School

Sigh. I just dropped my baby boy off for his first day of preschool. During a thunderstorm. Oscar is scared of thunder. Oh dear.

Here are some pictures of Oscar getting geared up for the big day. He was really excited about his new green "pack-pack." Here he is asking to go to preschool before bed last night:

And here he is this morning, all eager and ready to learn:



The last thing I heard after I walked out the classroom door was, "Go see mommy?" Um, it's normal (for me) to cry in the car on the way home, right?
